Hi,
I have a new site I have set up and would like my articles to be consumed and posted here.
I have created an RSS feed and added the blog but it says "No articles were consumed", but doesn't give a reason why.
The url is: http://www.jambr.co.uk/Article/rss
Could you let me know what is wrong as I am keen to get this working?

My points are not increasing since yesterday, as I'm answering the question... Acceptance of solution and for Upvoting I got points but Answers..
Again is there a issue with site or something else is happening.. Please let me know.
Waiting for the positive answer.

Is it very necessary to have points? It is more important how you can help people with your knowledge.
|
|
|
|
|
No, you are right but because of current issue, I have messaged here..
Thanks

Spot on, ridoy.

Maybe having less points makes him break a little and take care of quality of the answers instead of quantity of the answers. It is obvious he is in Reputation Hunt.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

These days appear more-and-more spams, that are clearly not from human origin. But as I see, they are evolving. Today I have seen one with image and in the "quick answers" section as an answer. As I see, they are trying to find the weaknesses of the page, and they have found some. And these spams are growing in number really quickly.
My suggestions:
- The html input white-listing should be reviewed
- The authentication cookie should expire if idle
- Introduction of a captcha on login

What makes you say that?

So for an extremely small number of abusive accounts we make life painful for everyone else?
Sorry, I don't believe in solutions that just make things painful. Spammers don't care if they have to go through a few hoops - they pay people to post this crap - but regular members do care if it's painful.

I am sure, they are automated. If you look carefully at the pattern over time, you will see it too. It is a progressive attack. The content itself does not matter, it is only there to make one believe, that it is posted by a person. I am sure, that the site is currently tested by a zombie network. I don't know what the purpose of it is - I suppose, finding an XSS leak.
Yes, the access to the site without those restrictions is making it really seamless. But it is among the few that did not introduce some sort of defense. I would not consider those as painful - maybe a little bit inconvenient. I, for myself, I am finding those spams more annoying than a capthca would be. There was a point yesterday when more than the half of the questions on the first page was spam. That was painful.
But, your site, your decision. Let's be confident, that locking out OPs will be enough.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Captcha is so annoying and I would hate to see it introduced here.

I would hate it too. But I hate also seeing spams all around... Do you have any other suggestion?

It would be a nice touch if when a message is automatically removed and the user is also deleted due to spam reports if the whole message also vanished. At the moment, we have ten threads in a row in the Lounge all of which are just "Message automatically removed" by the same (deleted) author, and they kinda make the place look untidy! 
Not that anyone here is at all OCD, no, no, not at all...
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

We had this (at least a version of this), and it ended up with legit members having their accounts cancelled. I'm not keen to revisit that, especially given that one of the members whose accounts was cancelled is armed

I'm not suggesting that all messages associated with a user are auto deleted, just those that are empty of replies and have also been marked as spam and "Automatically Removed" to stop the forum looking like a war zone when the spammers have been as active as recently.
I can see what you're saying, and the last thing I want to do is start removing all of a users messages!

Sometime in the past year the CP editor was updated to handle paste events from Opera. I'm not sure when exactly it happened because I was normally visiting CP in FF because the reduced functionality editor was more of a pain than switching browsers; but now everything appears to be working perfectly in Opera. Give the hamsters an extra serving of whiskey soaked pellets for me. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Since Lounge voting has been turned off for quite a while (and I haven't seen any update, in over a month, from CP, on whether or not it will return), I think it would be an interesting time to survey the membership on voting in general, as well as, specifically, what type of voting, if any, would be appropriate to the Lounge.
Merry Xmas, Bill
"We live in a world ruled by fictions: mass merchandising, advertising, politics as advertising, instant translation of science, technology, into popular imagery, increasing blur of identity in realms of consumer goods, preempting any free, original, imaginative, response to experience by the television screen. We live in an enormous novel. For a writer it's less necessary to invent a novel's fictional content: fiction's already there. A writer's task is to invent a reality." J. G. Ballard, 1974

I read some time ago about the possiblity of adding "good message" button to +5 and the standard reports.
I think that would be a nice idea to avoid the univoters, giving the rest the possiblity of highlighting good posts. At least in the social forums.

I think the way Chris has it set up right now, intentional or not, is nice. Put the points where the knowledge and help is at, and leave it out of bar room banter.
You have a happy holiday, as well.
